Hi to all!

As you know we are working on Krita 2.8, that is coming with a lot of cool features and improvements in selections engine, painting of the gradients, smoothing algorithms, brush sensors engine and more!

So, we are looking for cool new splashes for the new release! Feel free to submit your proposals

If you are talking about splash screens here are some images i made with krita

Is there a deadline for suggestions/submissions or is it just going until whenever it's released?

Hi jgholson and TheAutumnMistery,

Jgholson: thank you so much for your collaboration!
TheAutumnMistery: yes. there's a deadline, the end of the submissions period will be after Christmas vacations

Few questions..
- Any specific sizes/aspect ratios?
- Would you like us to do the graphical aspect as well (ie. krita logo, border, 'themeing', etc) or just a straight illustration?

Sorry to be a nuisance.

Sorry to be a nuisance.

Size doesn't matter that much as long as it's big enough. We can still scale or crop it a bit.

It should just be the illustration. The Krita logo/theming is added later.

(You can see a preview of better quality and bigger resolution here: http://www.turnangel.com/2013-10-09/splashing-in-8bit

My proposal...

Awesome! But there is one problem -- we still don't support 8 bit color! Which makes the theme of the splash a bit weird...

What an involuntary joke!

(I just fixed some problem... if you downloaded the old version, please re-download the new one...)

Hello,
@ Ico-dY : very nice illustration, as usual !

Here are my contributions. I made 2 main splashes, with 2 versions for each.
Just behind the pictures, you can download the .xpm file.
Tell me what you think



splash_screen-tepee_night-explosion-1.xpm




splash_screen-tepee_night-explosion-2.xpm




splash_screen-tepee_danse-au-temple-1.xpm




splash_screen-tepee_danse-au-temple-2.xpm

I really like the more abstract red/white splash splash.

Thanks !
I will try to propose anothers before december.

Very nice splashes Ico-dy & Tepee did there!

Here is my proposal:
Based on the picture of Kiki, the mascot of Krita. http://krita.org/item/198 The Krita icon I used are 48x48.

Light theme:


Dark theme:


Large picture:

Oh my, it's getting difficult to choose Maybe I'll pull a trick like I did with the 2.5 splash, where the paint girl would sometimes show up with a tear but mostly not.

Okay... For 2.8, I've taken Tyson's design, with the mascot. For git master, which will become 2.9 or 3.0 (we don't know yet, I'm going with Enrico's design. I really like Tepee's design as well, but the other two give more of a continuity with the splashes we've had over the ages. Thanks everyone for the work!
